Gorilla

A large, powerful dark-grey haired gorilla shown in full body, on all fours facing left.

🦍 Gorilla emoji represents strength, dominance, or wild energy. It's often used both literally (as the animal) and figuratively to express physical power or assertiveness.

People also use it:

• To talk about fitness or someone who’s “beast mode.”
• To symbolize alpha energy, intimidation, or protective instincts.
• In meme culture to reference famous gorillas (like Harambe) or exaggerated masculinity.

Context matters—a gorilla emoji can mean admiration, mockery, or brute strength depending on tone.
